Hi guys quick question.

I have a mate around sunday and we wanna play some L4D2.

Now how in basic steps do i enable split screen?

Secondly i have one 24" 1080p monitor and one 32" HDTV at 720p

How do i get split screen so that each player has there own screen

Thanks

That link looks like split-screen, not a monitor each.

You need to setup it up so that it can splitscreen.

And when you splitscreen, you use the mode so that it splits vertically rather than horizontally. But you'll only be able to play at one resolution for both screens, so in your case both at 720p.

I've had some success getting dual monitors to work using the guide here but i couldn't follow the bit where it wants you to edit "splitscreen_config.txt" as there isn't one that i can see in the l4d2 folder, so while it works i don't get a full view on each monitor, any ideas as i've searched but not found much?
